United s 26-goal top scorer returned against Everton on Tuesday after serving a three-match ban with his future still unresolved. Talks are ongoing between United and Ibrahimovic s agent Mino Raiola but no agreement has been reached on a contract extension.

To make it better. To bring the team to higher views so let s see what happens. I m 35. A lot of things have to be settled. It s not like I m 20 and I have another five or 10 years. Mourinho urges Shaw to grow up Shaw returned to action off the bench in Tuesday night s draw (Photo: Getty) Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has urged Luke Shaw to grow up after the England left-back made his return to action against Everton writes Mirror Football s James Whaling. Shaw was left out of the squad for the Red Devils goalless draw against West Brom on Saturday amid criticism from his boss leaving his future at Old Trafford in doubt. But he took his place on the bench this evening and came on as a second-half substitute for Ashley Young. Ashley Williams handled Shaw s goal-bound effort and was given his marching orders before the Zlatan Ibrahimovic coolly dispatched from the spot to level the game. He Shaw has lots of potential but the football brain and the professional brain has to be with the talent Mourinho told BT Sport. He has to change his football brain. He was doing things in the second half when he was reacting to my voice. If he was on the other side for sure he would not do it. I think he has a future here but Manchester United cannot wait. We need the kids to grow up. Mourinho calls for video technology Mourinho was left frustrated by an incorrect decision (Photo: Shaun Botterill) Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has called for video technology to help match officials after Zlatan Ibrahimovic s disallowed goal against Everton. The Swede headed what he thought was a leveller in the second half only to be scuppered by the offside flag. Replays showed he was marginally onside and Mourinho refused to criticise the linesman for the decision but did call for them to be given help from the use of video technology. They fought until the last second and we should win 2-1 because it wasn t offside Mourinho told BT Sport. It s difficult for the linesman and I m not criticising him at all. When it video technology comes in it will help linesmen and referees. It will be welcomed by everyone especially them the officials . For them it is not good when they make mistakes.

That is according to Don Balon who say Jose Mourinho has told Mendes that he wants to sign the Real Madrid midfielder. Los Blancos are reportedly holding out for 50million but Mendes has asked Bernabeu president Florentino Perez to lower his demands. Rodriguez has made just 15 La Liga appearances this season scoring three goals and providing six assists. United agree deal with West Ham for striker Fletcher signed for West Ham from United (Photo: Dan Mullan) West Ham have finally agreed a 1m deal for Ashley Fletcher - and that should give lift off to his Premier League career. Fletcher was a free agent when he joined from Manchester United last year and the deal was heading towards being decided by a tribunal. But West Ham have now made a fresh offer and that may now also allow Slaven Bilic to pick the 21-year-old striker on a more regular basis writes Mirror Football s John Cross. Fletcher has started just two Premier League games for West Ham despite scoring at Old Trafford in the League Cup earlier in the season and regular games could have pushed his price up. England under-20s starlet Fletcher has been desperate to play and lift West Ham s fight against relegation as well as ease their striker shortage. Atleti chief fires Griezmann warning Will Griezmann leave Atletico for United? (Photo: AFP) Manchester United have been warned in their pursuit of Antoine Griezmann by Atletico Madrid president Enrico Cerezo who insists their star players will stay. The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the France striker who has been in sensational form once again this season writes Mirror Football s Jack Rathborn. The 26-year-old has hit 22 goals and provided 11 assists this season but despite intense speculation Cerezo is calm surrounding his future. The best players will always end up playing where they want but now fortunately we have players who want to play at Atletico Cerezo told Reuters. We are doing well in the Champions League we finish high in the league every season we will have a magnificent stadium and we have a brilliant fan base who love all the players.

Eric Olhats confirmed United s move and says they face competition from Manchester City Chelsea and Barcelona for the France striker. Olhats says Griezmann s future beyond this summer has not been decided and that Atletico will demand 100million euros ( 85.6million) should anyone try and lure him away. Olhats told French radio station RMC: There are not 50 000 clubs that can put 100 million on the table it s quickly figured out. That s the price of the clause they won t give anything away cheaply. That limits the number of candidates right now.

A judge is scheduled to oversee the latest stage of the dispute at a private hearing in the Family Division of the High Court on Monday. News that Giggs and estranged wife Stacey were embroiled in a dispute emerged earlier this year. Mr Justice Cobb considered issues relating to reporting of the case at a preliminary hearing in February. The judge made an order limiting what journalists would be able to report - after an application by Giggs. Giggs and Stacey take in the tennis during happier times (Photo: Getty) He said he would not allow reporting of financial information aired during the litigation. The judge also said the pair s children should not be named in any report of proceedings. He said journalists could report that Giggs and Mrs Giggs were involved in a dispute - and name them. Giggs had initially asked for an order preventing media representatives from attending hearings. He decided however not to pursue that application. The couple pose for the cameras back in 2007 (Photo: Getty) Mrs Giggs has asked for her privacy to be respected as the dispute unfolds. Giggs retired as a player in the summer of 2014 and subsequently worked as United s interim manager for a short spell. He made a record 963 appearances for United over 24 seasons and won 64 Welsh international caps. Some La Liga highlights are being screened two yards to the left of Ryan Giggs and his attention is momentarily elsewhere. Villarreal lead by one goal away at Real Betis going into the final 15 minutes.Giggs cannot help but fix his gaze towards the television. He is still holding conversation but there remains interest in what is unfolding stealing a glance every now and then.As it turns out Villarreal s victory is a rather humdrum affair. Betis with the onus on them to attack as hosts flatter to deceive. A little bit like Manchester United right now.

Share this article Share 1.1k shares For these are curious times at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho the manager Ed Woodward spent so long pursuing and who was afforded such riches has presided over United s worst home record for 43 years.Draw after draw five from their last six at home. Despite 20 games unbeaten they have no prospect of finishing in the top four unless they start to win more games.United supporters claim bad luck and dubious refereeing decisions are chiefly to blame. Giggs though a fan himself these days has his own ideas.They centre on Zlatan Ibrahimovic still to make his mind up on activating a one-year extension and the Swede s floundering support cast. Frustrating crops up three times as Giggs supplies his verdict. The problem isn t whether Ibrahimovic stays or goes it s where they are going to get the goals from everywhere else Giggs says. Rather than concentrating on Ibrahimovic being here or not the others need to step up. Giggs is worried that United are becoming over-reliant on their striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic Giggs is given a guided tour http://buybacklinksz.alltdesign.com/how-to-get-traffic-from-backlinks-3236417 of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo including the ancient mummies The former Man United winger inspects golden Pharaohs during his time in Cairo Only the trio of Ibrahimovic (16) Juan Mata (six) and Paul Pogba (four) have more than three Premier League goals this season. The days of their midfielders hitting double figures seem distant. United have found the net more than once just three times at home in the Premier League since September. They re getting in those positions but it s concentration when it falls for you Giggs adds. Jose s said it hasn t he? It s frustrating. You re dominating games and have so many draws. You look up and it s like what could have been? There s luck too. Pogba s hit the bar nine times. If he scores those then he s got 15. It s that it s confidence - all of those need to come together. You can t just rely on one person because they can have an off day. Leicester last year. OK Jamie Vardy scored a lot of goals but Riyad Mahrez got 17. That s what you need. That s how the United teams I played in were like. I d chip in with seven or eight Becks would Scholesy would. Four centre forwards would. The centre halves. Denis Irwin too. The goals came from everywhere. Giggs believes Pogba has been unfortunate in hitting the woodwork nine times this season The Egyptian Museum provided the stunning backdrop to the Heineken Trophy tour Giggs was most definitely the centre of attention during his visit to Cairo this week Man United fixtures Premier League unless stated April 9 Sunderland (A)April 13 Anderlecht (A)Europa League quarter-final first legApril 16 Chelsea (H)April 20 Anderlecht (H)Europa League quarter-final second legApril 23 Burnley (A)April 30 Swansea City (H) You only have to look at Liverpool. I questioned them they ve not got a centre forward who can score 20 goals. But they just come from everywhere and they are the leading goalscorers. That s what United need to get back. My target was always to get double figures and then 15 assists. That s 25 goals. If Becks is doing the same you ve got a lot there. Sir Alex Ferguson would say this is what I expect from you . It put pressure on but you knew what the expectations were. If you were left out you d know why. Giggs laments their slow start and the admission that United s stars lack concentration is startling from someone who coached the vast majority of them as Louis van Gaal s assistant last season.In hindsight those problems were never going to be corrected overnight. Giggs could have stayed on longer by taking a diminished role in the new regime although he never spoke directly with Mourinho following the Portuguese s appointment.The 43-year-old is enjoying time out of the spotlight choosing to focus on business interests and punditry coupled with endorsement work which took him on the UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour presented by Heineken in Cairo this week. Giggs lifts the European Cup for the second time in his career after the 2008 win in Moscow In all Giggs scored 168 goals in his 963 appearances for Manchester United Giggs played a role in all 13 of Manchester United s Premier League title triumphs GIGGS AT UNITED Debut: vs Everton - March 2 1991Total appearances: 963Total goals: 168 HONOURSPremier League (13): 1992 93 1993 94 1995 96 1996 97 1998 99 1999 2000 2000 01 2002 03 2006 07 2007 08 2008 09 2010 11 2012 13FA Cup (4): 1993 94 1995 96 1998 99 2003 04Football League Cup (4): 1991 92 2005 06 2008 09 2009 10FA Community Shield (9): 1993 1994 1996 1997 2003 2007 2008 2010 2013UEFA Champions League (2): 1998 99 2007 08UEFA Super Cup (1): 1991Intercontinental Cup (1): 1999FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2008 Locals were tipped off Giggs would be wandering around the Egyptian Museum and carnage ensued hundreds in tow as he attempted to weave a path to view the collection of pharaonic history. The tour guide could barely be heard over the shouts and cameras.Otherwise Giggs is relaxed he says a five-a-side game with ITV staff while away at the European Championship is testament to that.All very nice indeed but you sense when talking to him that if the right managerial offer came in tomorrow everything else would be dropped immediately. Contact is understood to have been made by seven clubs this season. Intriguingly he remains in dialogue with one of them. The only one I can really say is Swansea Giggs laughs. I feel like I ve done my apprenticeship with two years of brilliant education under Louis. If the right club and the right chairman comes along I ll be ready. I d rather go into a decent League One or Championship team who ve got the right ideas and the right aspirations than a Premier League team who haven t. Giggs has leaned on Ferguson and Tony Pulis for advice and holds the belief that taking steps on to the managerial ladder are more difficult for ex-players who achieved it all.That tenures of those in their first jobs are becoming ever shorter prays on his mind. Giggs takes a look at some of the ancient Egyptian artefacts on display in Cairo The visit to Cairo gave Giggs http://buybacklinksz.blogkoo.com/focus-on-creating-quality-backlinks-3168967 an opportunity to learn about Egyptian history and culture Large crowds followed Giggs around the Egyptian Museum during his visit It frustrates me when you hear people say You can t just expect to walk into any job he adds. Well I think it works against us actually. It can stop you getting jobs. It can hinder not help. They see the player rather than the coach. That s understandable because I was playing for so long and only coached for two years. But I ve been preparing for it for 10 years because I started my badges at 30. It really doesn t matter to me where. It s a minefield out there though. You see Warren Joyce who I worked with for so long. Four months in a job (at Wigan) and he s a very good coach. Very easily your reputation can be ruined in that first job. Giggs checks and smirks. You re talking me out of it here! He thinks back to that three-week caretaker spell after David Moyes s sacking in 2014. The fact that a 1-0 home defeat by Sunderland is his abiding memory serves as an indicator he could be cut-out for management.The two years with Van Gaal were by no means smooth. His admiration for the Dutchman is clear but the pair did not always share the same vision. Giggs iconic celebration after scoring for United against Arsenal in the 1999 semi-final A lighter moment during his time as assistant manager to Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford Things were less rosy on the field however as United lurched from one crisis to anotherWhen the top role was briefly his Giggs told the squad to return to playing The United http://buybacklinksz.suomiblog.com/backlinks-be-number-1-on-google-s-front-page-2332752 Way but those principles cannot be applied to Van Gaal s reign.Giggs does however suggest there were mitigating factors not least player turnover and relays that Van Gaal always attacked at previous clubs.The Dutchman did more to feed his No 2 s management desire than we realise. A taskmaster remembers Giggs. The detail the way he looked at the game I d never really seen that before. It was two years and it was like spending five years with someone else because it was so intense. He delegated. Telling a player what to do never fazed me because I d been doing it for five to 10 years anyway. Does that player need a dressing down? Does that one need an arm around him? Van Gaal certainly needed comforting when jilted in the immediate aftermath of last May s FA Cup triumph shortly after Ferguson had joined in the dressing-room celebrations. Giggs has not yet taken up Jose Mourinho s invitation to visit him after matches this season Giggs and a group of reporters tour the Egyptian Museum in the capital Cairo this week The Manchester United legend takes a closer look at one of the mummies in the museumAccording to Giggs Ferguson consciously distanced himself until they had lifted some silverware to avoid creating undue pressure. He has not taken Mourinho s very open offer of popping down after matches this year either only accepting when United lifted the EFL Cup in February.He will be in amongst it again in Stockholm on May 24 should they win the Europa League final and Mourinho s forwards now really need to concentrate on saving their campaign. They re probably easier games in Europe. You d fancy Jose and United against those. Ask the others and they just want to avoid United Giggs reasons ahead of Thursday s quarter-final trip to Anderlecht. Ask any United fan if you get into the Champions League and win a trophy it s a good season. They are still on track to do that. There are only two or three clubs who are going to win a trophy and get into the Champions League. We should judge Jose at the end of the season.
